About the Role
We are seeking to recruit a Data Governance & Compliance Manager to establish and lead the company’s data governance function. This is a newly created strategic role that sits within the Legal & Compliance function and will be responsible for ensuring the governance, provenance, legitimacy, and regulatory compliance of the data that underpins Oxford Data Plan’s products. Although the role includes responsibility for UK GDPR and broader privacy compliance, it is considerably wider than a traditional Data Protection Officer position.
We are looking for someone who can build and embed an enterprise-wide data governance framework across the business, working closely with Legal, Product, Partnerships, Commercial, Engineering, and IT.
About Us
Oxford Data Plan develops institutional-grade alternative data products for financial markets. Our competitive advantage is built on acquiring, analysing, and transforming high-quality data into proprietary market intelligence products. Because our business is fundamentally data-driven, governance of our data assets is a strategic capability rather than simply a compliance requirement. The successful candidate will become the custodian of the firm’s data governance framework and will play a central role in ensuring that our data assets remain commercially valuable, legally defensible, and trusted by institutional clients.
